Ex-husband’s Regret (Ryan and Charlotte) novel Chapter 166

Chapter 166 

Ryan’s dark eyes glanced at me, as if hoping I would step back. 

I smiled faintly, firmly stating first, “What she said is true. We’ll send her away by tomorrow night at the 

latest.” 

“I don’t want an answer from you…” 

Ignoring my words, Lauren stared only at Ryan, looking like she couldn’t bear to face the truth. “Ryan, tell Ms. Wood, is it true?” 

Perhaps my gaze was too direct, but despite his discomfort, Ryan spoke in a deep voice. “It’s true.” 

“Mom, did you hear that!” 

Jessica cried out, “Ryan clearly promised you he would take care of me, but now he’s siding with outsiders to bully us.” 

Ryan’s face turned cold. “Charlotte is my wife, not an outsider!” 

“You’re getting divorced!” 

Jessica’s face was streaked with tears as she emphasized firmly. 

As if she was the one who had been wronged. 

Ryan frowned, feeling displeased. “Until the divorce certificate is in hand, she remains my wife.” 

I was somewhat surprised that he emphasized our relationship like this to Jessica. 

“Enough.” Lauren interrupted their argument, her face showing a plea. “Ryan, regardless of Ms. Wilson’s relationship with you, isn’t Jessica still a member of your family? She’s just a girl who has been spoiled by me and your dad since childhood. If you send her abroad alone, it could be fatal for her. She’s my only daughter. If anything happens to her, how can I bare to live with myself…” 

She seemed on the verge of tears. 

I felt uneasy watching this unfold. Ryan hesitated before relenting, “I’ll discuss this with Charlotte again.” “Discuss what?” I stared at him relentlessly, having compromised too many times already! This time I didn’t want to back down! “Ryan, this is what you promised me just yesterday.” 

Could he turn back on his words with me so easily? 

Time and again, he failed to keep his promises. 

Ryan frowned, attempting to pull me aside, but I shrugged him off defiantly. “If you have something to say, say it here.” 

“There are many ways to achieve your goal. Must you make it so embarrassing?” Ryan’s face darkened. 

I didn’t believe his words at all and sneered. “For example? If not sending her abroad, are you willing to send her to jail?” 

Lauren looked at me, shocked. “Jail? What did Jessica do that makes you want to send her to jail?” 

It seemed like such a thought was unforgivable.

“She killed my child!” 

I stated loudly, coldly smiling. “But to you, that shouldn’t be a big deal, right? After all, it was Ryan’s mother who killed a living pregnant woman.” 

Lauren sighed helplessly. “Ms. Wilson, is there some misunderstanding between us? Why do you harbor so much hostility towards me?” 

“Yeah! Charlotte, my mom just woke up. Don’t provoke her! What do you have against me?” 

Jessica stood in front of me, looking very aggrieved. “As for what you said about killing your child, I’ve said it before. It really wasn’t intentional… Why won’t you believe me?” 

Clearly, she was desperately trying to defend herself. 

I didn’t bother arguing with her anymore, just stared steadily at Ryan. “Have you made up your mind? Are you going to send her abroad or not?” 

Before I could finish speaking, Lauren suddenly clutched her chest, breathing rapidly, looking like she 

might faint at any moment. 

“No, I won’t!” 

Ryan panicked, leaving these words and rushing out to call for the doctor! 

His tone was full of menace. 

It was obvious who it was directed towards. 

I felt bitter and upset, sneering. Just as I was about to leave, I heard Lauren speak clearly, “Ms. Wilson/ since you’ve already applied for a divorce, don’t waste each other’s time. Once the cooling–off period is over, get the certificate.” 

I turned back in surprise, seeing her composed face without a hint of emotion. I couldn’t help but mock, Although you’ve been in a coma for so many years, your acting skills were still as good as before.” 

Not only did Ryan believe her, I did too. 

“Did you hear what I said just now?” 

Her eyes narrowed slightly, pressing on every step. 

I didn’t want to satisfy hers. I curved my lips. “Are you trying to force me to divorce, Lauren? I’m not someone who cares about dignity and face. If you push me too far, I might just not divorce, and let your daughter be a mistress for the rest of her life!” 

Lauren glared at me angrily. “No wonder Jessica said you’re difficult to deal with! You’re truly shameless.” 

“You know full well who’s the shameless one.” I smirked. “I never thought that being a mistress could also be a family tradition.” 

“You!” 

Lauren’s teeth almost clenched together, then she clutched her chest in discomfort…
